HTC games

on the HTC blackstone were missing out on loads of games because we have no d-pad is the no way of creating a touch mini contoller at bottom half of screen?
I hope someone will do it soon, it would be wonderful
if you use the search function you should get results with people posting about about touch controllers that will sit at the bottom of the screen (since almost no game has a native resolution of 800x480). Which is also how you can run various emulators (like nes)
The problem with such a bottom-controller is that the screen is not capable to recognize more than one press, so you can just press one button at once.
Asphalt 4 is available for the HD now. it has a soft pad at the bootom to controll and it looks like gameloft will release more and more games with such an interface specialy for wvga devices.
but the graphic and the gameplay sucks. it's not fun at all. it's not worth a dollar.
Why not invest in a external game pad? It wouldn't be that big and you would only bring it when you know your going to be bored.

Wooo, Fallens a mod now!
You can run only games that are made for WVGA. Some VGA games can be run using WVGAFix, I think Asphalt4 is for QVGA only as I remember myself playing it on my old PDA with QVGA screen
are you sure you bought the game? there is no wvga version of asphalt 4 hd. There is only wqvga version for omnia. you should go return the product.

Working GBA emulator for WinMo 6.1?

I tried downloading the last updated Pocket GBA and it does not work on my TP2. Don't know if it's just plain outdated or not compatible for 6.1. Does anyone know a good working gameboy advance emulator for the TP2/WinMo 6.1?
No one has a working gba emulator?
bumpppppppp
Anyone? Bump
What version of pocketGBA did you download, keep in minde it wont play GB or GBC games.
You could try running WVGAFix to set a lower resolution.

Sorry, I do not remember the exact version #, but it was the most recent update from Sunbug.net. I realize it only plays GBA games, but the loading the rom isnt the problem, it's just the emulator itself.
bumpppppppppp
PocketGBA works on my phone, PocketGBA rel.060526. Works with out WVGA fix, or should work. Only issues I ran into was getting the screen in the right postion. Its upsidedown and there is no option to rotate it, kind of sucks becuase zelda looked like it was running smooth.
Other then that let me know if you find a fix.
I know there has to be atleast one person that has a working GBA emulator on their Touch Pro 2.
I have a trouch pro 2 with wm 6.1 like I said I have it working however the screen in landscape is wrong and there is no way to change it.
Morphgears gba works great full screen and with keyboard support with KforTp, however its slow as hell in GDI mode.
Look here this is the only emulator that seems to work ok

As much as a hate paying for software I might buy this, even if I think it should be free. I might if the creator speeds it up more and makes it run games smooth with sound.
On a side note does any one know how to switch the screen to portrat more while in landscape mode with out sliding the screen. On my mogul it was on the bottom but now there is nothing there because of touch flo.
Any ideas?
pocket gba don't work on my i780..what i can try??
I have Morphgear running in landscape by choosing RawFrameBuffer and using East orientation. Oddly, I use KforTP to map the buttons, but after they're mapped, I don't need to use it anymore.
SNES works great, albiet no sound (enabling sound makes the games unplayably stuttery). GBA games are so slow they are painful to play.
My question is, why did all of this emulation development get dropped four or five years ago? I wish someone would start it up again -- there are a ton of GBA games I'd love to play on the TP2.

Gameboy advance emulator?

Anyone have or know of a working gameboy advance emulator? I tried the latest version of PocketGBA, but the screen rotates the wrong way when I pull out the keyboard.
Anyone have a working emulator?
Morphgear works, but you have to purchase the GB & GBA modules (the SNES and Genesis modules are free). In Morphgear, you can change the driver to RAW and then change screen orientation to East and window size to Scale to Fit. Then you can map the keyboard keys as a DPad and have the game running full vertical resolution. The GBA games run very slowly, though. If you don't purchase them, the GBA game stop running after 5 minutes of play, so you can at least test it out.
If you turn on the sound the games barely run, so you'll have to play muted.

So if the games run very slow, is it even worth paying the $20 for the emulator?
Probably not. I had to stop playing FFV Advance because it was so slow. I moved on to Breath of Fire II for the SNES because it plays in real time.
It's a shame that all emu development for the SNES and GBA stopped ages ago. None of the emus take advantage of the new hardware.
